Windows 7: programs just don't load

Hi! please help me with this one:
I have win7 rtm installed for 2 months now and all worked great.
Today, when i started the pc, all programs that were loading at startup started correctly, but everything else just does not load. any program i click appears in task manager with just a few kb of memory allocated and just hangs there without loading. I haven't made any changes recently and I didn't install other programs during last week. I have Kaspersky internet securty 9 no viruses detected. Strangely everything works fine when i boot-up in "debugging mode" from boot menu.
btw, what is actually "debugging mode"? and please don't tell me "Starts Windows 7 in an advanced troubleshooting mode intended for IT professionals and system administrators." because that does not actually explain anything.
Any help appreciated ! thanks

later edit: i forgot to mention that before this happened, i shut down windows because Eclipse was not working(it was using 100% cpu every time i tried to write something or open/close a java file). Than i put a fresh copy of Eclipse but the problem persisted, so i restarted the PC. After that the problem occurred...

i don't have a restore point. I don't know why. Actually I used the restore point i had about 2 weeks ago
thanks, i didn't search for spyware, i will try that

even later edit: Malwarebytes(full scan) did not find any infections or spyware/malware programs, but thanks for the advice.
Any other ideas?

so....my problem must have something to do with a driver or a program or some module that crashes and/or blocks the correct execution or memory allocation of other programs. This problem is not present when i run in "debugging mode"(from the F8 menu ar startup)....so please tell me someone what does this "debugging mode" disable from loading at startup, or what does it actually do, so that i can start somewhere in finding a remedy

in MSCONFIG just uncheck programs on start up tab and on the services tab check the box that says hide all Microsoft Services then look at what that leaves uncheck those then try to boot Windows normally if all goes well you can re enable programs and services one by one till you find the offender

Partial PC Hang - Programs won't LoadI have 2 PCs exhibiting the same problem, W7 Home (XPS 8700) and W7 Prof (Inspiron 580). After 24-48 hrs, any/all programs fail to load.
